Situating Rich Demonstrations in Discourse

Authors

  • Christian De Leon University of California Author

I discuss a phenomenon I call rich demonstration, wherein a demonstrative gesture is seemingly used to communicate an entire thought. I present an analysis based in discourse coherence theory on which rich demonstrations have their functions in virtue of the interpretive effects of discourse-structuring mechanisms.
